How can the number of valence electrons be determined from the periodic table?

By looking at the group number you can tell how many valance electrons there are ex: Group 1= 1 valance electrons Group 2-12= 2 valance electrons Group 13= 3 valance electrons Group 14= 4 valance electrons Group 15= 5 valance electrons Group 16= 6 valance electrons Group 17= 7 valance electrons Group 18= 8 valance electrons


How many Valance electrons in oxygen?

6 Use the periodic table as a guide. As you go across from left to right the number of valence electrons increases. H = 1 Be = 2 B = 3 C = 4 N = 5 O = 6 F = 7 This trend stays the same all the way down each column. Usually periodic tables are marked on the top with roman numerals or something to signify how many valence electrons each element has.


How many valence electrons does an atom have from group 16?

Atoms of elements in Groups 13-18 have 10 fewer valence electrons than their groups numbers.However , helium atoms have only 2 valence electrons.


Why don't elements in group 8 bond with other elements?

The elements in group 8 of the periodic table are iron (Fe), ruthenium(Ru), osmium(Os), and hassium(Hs). All four of these elements are grouped together because each of their atoms has a full valence shell containing the maximum of 8 electrons. Atoms seek to bond when their outer valance is unstable and has less than 8 electrons. Their goal is to fill the valance with 8 electrons to become chemically unable to bond or "chemically inert." That is the case with the group 8 elements. They have a complete or closed shell and that is why they do not bond with other elements.


A member of the boron family has three valance electrons while a member of the nitrogen family has?

Five valence electrons. Members of the nitrogen family (Group 15) have five valence electrons, one more than members of the boron family (Group 13).

How many valence electrons do atoms have in groups 1 and 2?

group 1...is 1 valence. group 2...is 2 valence.


What element contains 7 valence electrons and 7 protons?

You should understand that while neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, they do not usually have the same number of protons and valance electrons, because except for hydrogen and helium, atoms also have electrons in the inner shells, which are not valance electrons. Therefore, there is no atom which has 7 protons and 7 valance electrons, although there is an element that has 7 protons, and there are several elements that have 7 valence electrons.


How many valance electrons does halogen have?

Halogens are group 17 elements. They have 7 valence electrons.


What makes a group not reactive on the periodic table?

A full octet, valance shell. A valance shell with eight electrons, such as the Nobel gases have, doe not need to donate or accept electrons into or out of the valance shell to be stable.


How many valence electrons does a fluorine atom contain?

A fluorine atom has 7 valance electrons. This can be identified by looking which group fluorine is located, which is group 7. However when the atoms get bigger this rule does not apply so easily.
